Barry Island 1967

Another nice and simple badge here, this is the Barry Island 67 badge and has a well rendered Dragon on the centre. The overall impression is very striking. Made by Fattorini.

Barry Island 1965 (replica)

This is a replica of possibly the most sought after Butlins Badge. If you have an original one you will stand to make a lot of money from it, how much a collector will pay I don’t know as they so rarely come up. Barry Island resort was supposed to open in 1965 but it didn't. The badges were made but never distributed so are now exceedingly rare. I imagine this is as close as I will be getting.

Barry Island 1966

My new acquisition today is a fantastic condition Barry Island 1966 badge. Enamelling is almost pristine and there is hardly any tarnish at all. An excellent addition and my first Barry Island badge. It is stamped with the makers mark and in this case that is Thomas Fattorini and his sons. I wonder where they are now?

Now i need to reorganise my whole folder to squeeze it in.
